MychkoAlezander/iStock via Getty Images The Marzetti Company ( MZTI ) is a manufacturer and marketer of specialty food products in the US. It's home to brands like Sister Schubert's and New York Bakery. You may best know them for having licensed Chick-fil-A sauces in your local grocery store. It offers products at both grocery stores and in 17 of the country's top 30 restaurant chains. The company has been around since 1961 and now has 13 production facilities across seven states. The issue with this company is that volume growth is going to be hard to come by as it fights structural consumer consumption headwinds for their product categories, all the while trading at a level that is not particularly attractive on a forward basis. Opportunity Set The company will tell you it has produced an 11% growth CAGR from 1972 to 2025, which is a bit misleading. Sure, Marzetti has deals with Buffalo Wild Wings, Olive Garden, Chick-fil-A, Arby's, and Texas Roadhouse on the restaurant side, but this wide of a view offers little to paint the forward trajectory. Company Investor Presentation Source: Investor Presentation To understand this company better, their revenues are split about half retail and half foodservice, with the latter being slightly larger. On a retail mix basis, 38% is frozen bread, 19% is refrigerated dressings, dips, and other, while 43% are shelf-stable dressings, sauces, and croutons. It is difficult, right off the bat, to really feel good about this product mix. The rise of GLP-1s and lower calorie intake consumers puts a strain on conversion at PoS for these types of items. This is where structural headwinds come into play. There are catalysts on the refrigerated dressing front: there is a new Buffalo Wild Wings sauce (honey garlic) and hot sauce coming out this spring, as well as Zesty Italian Olive Garden-branded dressing this spring. On the new product front, the company is adding "baked bites" under its New York Bakery brand this summer and new dressing...

Welcome back to Canada Daily, the newsletter on business, economics and politics from Vancouver to Montreal and beyond. If this was forwarded to you, click here to sign up . Does war still matter to investors? It’s been only eight days since the US president posted: “A whole civilization will die tonight.” Equities keep barreling ahead. The S&P 500 touched another record on hopes for a potential peace deal in the Middle East. The Canadian stocks benchmark has gone up every day in April but one. At the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, the feeling among policymakers is that investors are being too complacent . IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva was asked whether markets should be more wary. “I would argue, yes, because what we see in supply chain disruptions is already quite significant,” she said. Those supply-chain snarls are real but haven’t been fully felt yet by consumers, farmers and manufacturers. It takes a little while for these problems to show up in higher prices, and time to fix them, too. Rebecca Patterson, a JPMorgan and Bridgewater Associates veteran, said few investors realize the impact of the current energy shock will probably look something like the effects of the Covid pandemic — a “rolling contagion.” As economic bigwigs were meeting in Washington, macro strategist Katherine Krantz of BMO Capital Markets was talking to clients and bank employees. There’s a lot of economic stimulus out there, she said, buoying economic growth (and corporate earnings). That’s good for stock prices, obviously. But what’s one risk investors are underestimating? “We would put inflation as that risk,” Krantz replied. “People just aren’t talking about it.” It’s not only about the current energy shock, she reminded her audience. The Trump administration is still pursuing a radically restrictive immigration policy, at a time when boomers are exiting the workforce in large numbers. That will also take its toll. “We already have a si...

MF3d/iStock via Getty Images Overview I am an investor that is bullish on the outlook of technology. My risk tolerance usually leads me to lean more heavily on the large-cap leaders rather than the smaller speculative bets in the sector. While I am optimistic about the outlook of technology, I also understand that the path forward will be filled with uncertainty and volatility. This is where the Kurv Technology Titans Select ETF ( KQQQ ) comes in. KQQQ provides direct exposure to the highest quality assets in the world while also implementing an option strategy to generate income from each holding. The higher the volatility, the greater the potential to collect higher income from KQQQ. Looking at the fund's performance over the last twelve months, we can see that KQQQ's share price has increased by about 18.6%. Even with the rough start to 2026, the fund has been able to recover alongside the rally over the last week. When including all distributions that were paid out to investors, the total return jumps up slightly above 35% over the same time frame. The main appeal of KQQQ is the starting dividend yield of roughly 15%, which is paid out on a monthly basis. However, the fund's starting yield will continually shift since new payouts are declared on a monthly basis. Data by YCharts One of the main benefits of the fund is that the distributions tend to be paid out in a tax-efficient manner. This allows some flexibility in which accounts investors can hold a position since the tax consequences are small. Despite the high-income potential, there are some clear tradeoffs that investors must consider. For instance, the fund provides direct access to the highest quality companies in the world but is likely to underperform its own holdings over a longer holding period. Similarly, the focus on technology holdings can be a vulnerability if we experience a downturn in the sector. Fund Strategy The fund is relatively new, with an inception dating back to July 2024. Since the f...

Robert Michaud Thanks to a 6.11% stake in SpaceX ( SPACE ) Google LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet ( GOOG ), could make at least $100B from its investment once the space exploration company goes public. According to a regulatory filing in Alaska, Google’s initial investment has been diluted to ~5% due to the dilution impact of the SpaceX/xAI merger, but it is still worth billions of dollars should the valuation reach a record-setting $2T valuation. While the SpaceX IPO stands to make billionaires out of early investors, including SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell, Fidelity Investment’s Contrafund, Founders Fund, and even some original SpaceX employees, CEO Elon Musk could become history’s first trillionaire with his 40%+ holding in the company. With so many individuals at the company poised to see their financial futures change dramatically, Bloomberg raises the possibility of a brain drain in the wake of the IPO. “One of the biggest questions I have for this is what happens to middle management, even though SpaceX is a very lean company, and some of the upper management that after the IPO will not need to do anything to support themselves,” PitchBook’s Franco Granda said to Bloomberg. “The investors who got in at 2021 will have life-changing returns, if not career-defining,” Granda added. SpaceX submitted a confidential filing to go public, aiming for a June offering. The IPO is expected to raise at least $75B, making it the largest initial public offering on record. The company is reportedly weighing several alternative IPO structures, including a dual-class share structure that would give insiders—including Musk—extra voting power, a tiered lock-up period that would release shares every 20 to 30 days to avert mass selling of shares after the traditional 180-day lock-up period, and a higher-than-usual retail allocation of shares of 30%.

格隆汇4月16日｜伊朗伊斯兰议会议长卡利巴夫16日通过社交媒体发表声明称，黎巴嫩全面停火协议的达成与巩固，归功于真主党的英勇抵抗和“抵抗之弧”力量的团结。卡利巴夫指出，美国必须严格遵守相关协议。他强调，无论是在战争时期还是停火阶段，伊朗与抵抗力量始终有着共同的意志。卡利巴夫同时呼吁，美国应当反思其外交政策，纠正“以色列优先”的错误立场，从这一错误路线中撤回。

krblokhin/iStock via Getty Images Frontdoor, Inc. ( FTDR ) is a leading provider of home service warranty plans in the United States. The company used to be highly dependent on existing home sales to drive sales. But the dynamic in the U.S. housing market shifted in the seller's favor. FTDR’s fortunes declined with fewer home service warranties attached. What’s worse, the existing home market slowed down, adding even more pressure. As a result, the stock market is pricing the company as a structurally impaired growth story. But FTDR is repositioning away from the existing home sales with many initiatives. My analysis shows that these initiatives are showing strong signs of gaining ground. This makes FTDR a Buy in my books. Who Is Frontdoor? Frontdoor sells home service warranties through its American Home Shield and Frontdoor brands. A typical home warranty lasts one year. Customers choose coverage and pay a periodic fee. If covered items break (stove, dishwasher, fridge, etc.), a customer calls Frontdoor. Frontdoor assigns contractors to do the job and pays them for covered expenses. As long as warranty premiums exceed claims costs, FTDR collects a profit. Their home service warranty business is a capital-light model. Unlike standard insurance products (auto, home), it faces little regulation. There are no regulated price caps and no required capital buffers to maintain. For this reason, Frontdoor has great flexibility to increase prices for higher margins. Being in business since 1971 through America Home Shield, FTDR has ~40% market share in the home service warranty market. Frontdoor Profitability Metrics (Seeking Alpha) Before, Frontdoor heavily relied on existing home sales to increase its customer count. The home service warranty acquisition came through real estate brokers. This channel was relatively inexpensive for its customer acquisition costs. FTDR leveraged its dominant market position and long-standing relationship with realtors. In a buyer's market, ...

A group of Western finance ministers, said the Iran war has caused a regrettable loss of life and warned that a prolonged conflict risks derailing the global economy. The joint statement said that the growth and inflation impact will persist even if there was a lasting resolution to the conflict. “Renewed hostilities, a widening of the conflict or continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz would pose serious additional risks to global energy security, supply chains, and economic and financial stability,” the statement released by the UK government said. It marks the latest effort by Western countries to ramp up pressure on the US to end the war, which has dented their growth prospects and raised the threat of another jump in inflation. Nicola Willis, New Zealand Finance Minister joined Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss the impact of the War in Iran on the global economy and New Zealand's. (Source: Bloomberg)

IMF Warns US Treasury Market Prone To "Sudden Repricing" Due To Soaring Debt, Overreliance On Bills The International Monetary Fund warned Wednesday that the relentless US debt issuance is undermining the premium Treasuries have commanded from investors, with implications for government securities across the globe. “ The increase in the US Treasury security supply is compressing the safety premium that US Treasuries have traditionally commanded — an erosion that pushes up borrowing costs globally ,” the Washington-based IMF said in its latest Fiscal Monitor report . The US has been selling large volumes of debt because its budget deficit has averaged roughly 6% of gross domestic product over the past three years, an unprecedented shortfall outside of wartime or recession eras. The gap is expected to stay around those levels throughout the coming decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office. In reality, it will only get wider. As Bloomberg reports, the IMF pointed to a narrowing gap between the yields of AAA rated corporate bonds and Treasuries as a sign of reduced appeal for US government securities. While spreads have typically been viewed as a gauge of the risk investors estimate for corporate borrowers, the fund is flipping that analysis on its head to view it as a metric of how much extra buyers are willing to pay for Treasuries. “A narrowing spread implies that the premium investors pay for the safety and liquidity of Treasuries (relative to high-grade corporate debt) is compressing,” the IMF said. The fund showed that AAA corporate spreads have shrunk to roughly 35 basis points from more than 55 basis points at the start of 2019. Besides funding runaway US debt, another danger flagged by the IMF was the increasing reliance of the US Treasury on sales of short-dated debt, a process launched by Janet Yellen and her Activist Treasury Issuance , and maintained ever since. Having initially criticized the Bill buildout, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last ...

【有線新聞】首批持牌網約車平台最快今年第四季運作，在立法會特別財委會，運輸及物流局重申為網約車訂定發牌數量會考慮道路承載力及乘客預約服務的體驗。 網約車規管框架去年獲立法會通過，預計最快今年首批持牌平台提供服務，有議員關注網約車發多少牌。陳沛良：「會否參考其他地區經驗，發牌數量會否多於18,000輛的士的數量？」運輸及物流局局長陳美寶：「香港九成出行市民都乘公共交通，公共交通系統發達亦達成平衡生態，加上道路承載力也要兼顧。當我們訂限要以總量管控的做法，令到市民出行安心之餘，不會窒礙、影響網約車體驗，簡單來說不會預約不到車。」 的士車隊方面，目前約1,500輛車營運，只是目標約一半，當局承諾協助車隊達標，有議員認為要改善預約平台。葉傲冬：「在晚上很多時會看到的士車隊一排一排在街旁，不過就不是在營運，政府會否將的士車隊平台納入新的預約車制度？」陳美寶：「最近樂見一個電子支付及網約平台、即八達通，亦會很快在4月20日或22日會推出整合式平台。」 會議上亦有不少議員關注「搵食車」泊位不足。陳宗彝：「局方提出兩年內增加的車位大部分在北部都會區、有6,000個，大部分在市區的司機為甚麼會泊在北部都會區？」陳美寶：「未來會積極與房屋局及房屋署商討，在公共屋邨找一地多用車位，方便『搵食車』司機開車到自住地方，能夠有些泊位日間作為上落貨其他用途，晚上可以作為商用車泊位。」 陳美寶又提到政府今年啟動內部研究，如何為港深西部鐵路向南延伸保留彈性及空間。
